God’s Love In Action

Sin Is Disunity with God

“No one gets to choose what’s sinful and what’s not except for God. He has the full authority on morality.”
~ Abby Johnson

Correct.
It’s not so much that God chooses what is sinful or not, as much as disunity with Him is sin and causes death… Physical and spiritual.
God is the Author, Sustainer and Source of Life, therefore anything we do outside of His will separates us from that Life. The natural result is death, just as unplugging any device from an outlet would cause it to stop functioning.

Two Different Gods

I find that people in the church tend to get a little too wrapped up in their version of God; sometimes to the point where when a conflict (or multiple conflicts) arises between what they THINK they know of who YHWY is and who He reveals Himself to be in Scripture arise, they choose the version they’ve got in their minds instead…

God’s Love is Liberating, Not Restrictive

Many people try to sum up God’s Law with the word “Don’t” or maybe “Thou shall not….” Fill in the blank. As a result, many people view His Laws as restrictive instead of what it actually is: Loving.

Chances are, if you’re not cruel, you would want to ensure that they avoid the harm they are not aware of.

For instance, when I was learning to drive, I was given the incredible opportunity, as you likely were too. With that set of wheels came a seemingly limitless number of possibilities! However, in my optimism about my new horizons, I was not thinking about all the ways my newfound freedom could hurt me. Family and friends, on the other hand were. I was reminded of the hazards of speeding, passing on those two-lane country roads and even going up blind hills (of which there were many) on those one lane, barely paved, country roads.

These people were not trying to restrict my freedom but attempting to ensure it!
